Thanks. That made the penny drop, and I have made the connection. But the extraction exercise appears to be unnecessary: The npoji6.dll in the mzplugin.exe file of the new Java13 update (size 278040) is dated 2001/09/25. The npoji6.dll (NOW, before I have unzipped mzplugin.exe) in each of the three Mozilla installations on the system has the same size and date. In other words, the installation program does all that silently. -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel To send me email, please note that email addressed to "SPAM-FOILER" will not reach me, and will not be read.
